Hi thanks for your query and welcome to lybrate. I am Dr. Akshay from fortis hospital, new delhi.
Actually pain at calf/leg region can be due to many reasons, commonly it is muscular in nature but it can also be due to tendons, nerves, blood vessels etc.
My advise to you for initial 2-3 weeks will be: - ice packs application intensively with elevation of your limbs at night
- take a short course of anti-inflammatory medication as per your body's suitability
- stop your physical activity till pain completely subsides
- intensive physical therapy, training and proper muscle conditioning once pain has subsided
- slow resumption of physical activities with proper pre activity warm up and stretching of muscles and short increments in duration of physical activity each day as per pain tolerance.
- we will get some blood tests for you - serum vitamin d and serum potassium levels, esr and crp once you have all these reports then you can contact me as I can advise you for proper supplementation
also please mention if there are any other symptoms like swelling, any s/s of inflammation or infection like skin redness, local warmth at affected site etc. Do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance.
Thanks & regards

You must get yourself examined by a pain physician as the pain is now chronic. Your pain may be due to past injury, degenerative condition or an infection. Chances of your pain being infectious is high if the pain is accompanied or preceded by systemic signs like fever. Some viral fevers are known to cause joint pains even months after recovery. So visit a pain specialist and get yourself treated adequately.

Prognosis is good. Do not worry. There is slight meniscus and tendon inflammation. Chondromalacia patellae means undersurface of patella (knee cap) is inflamed. Just take anti inflammatory medicines, do ice fomentation (3 times per day). It will take 4-6 weeks for inflammation to subside.

Actually there are many causes of Elbow pain and it depends upon the exact site of pain, so tell me whether the pain is on the outer aspect, inner aspect or at the back of the elbow region?
It will be useful if you can send me a clinical picture with the exact site marked.Also can you tell me whether apart from pain, there is any swelling, skin redness , local warmth etc?
Is there any H/O injury to the affected elbow?
What investigations have you done till now and what management has been done for the existing problem?

Leg pain with backache. We should exclude intervertebral disc problem, osteophytes etc. X-ray of LS spine will determine the exact position. If nerve is compressed certain measures such as lumbar support or traction may be required in some cases.
